Well you understand that to gain atleast 1 star, you would need to destroy 50% of the village which is about 33-34 buildings. if you dont understand why people leave storages outside, it is because they have alot of HP compared to other buildings so it takes longer which gives the defense tower more time to get the troops. the way they make use of these is that they squish the elixir with everything else so even after the storage is destroyed they would go to the ones next to it, even if people use 1 troop at a time it would take too long to get the storage and if they mob, their troops would die fast with wizards and motar there. so when youre attacking bases like that try distancing youre self from the motars and wizards by using archers so that they would only be attacked by cannons and archers that way you wouldnt lose as many troops as fast and saving time, while you send like 10-15 per storage outside, use your barbs to get the rest of the buildings out side. usually you end up with 40 something % after everything outside so save some archers to attack over the walls.
-# of barbs: 110
-# of archers: 110
- this is for max camps so its pretty much 50/50
To get 50%:
-use 1 archer to attack builds away from the village saving troops
-get rid of king and queen by dumping clan castle if you have barbs and archers in them
-get rid of their CC by using lightning or a few barbs. not all at one of course.
-send out barbs (gobs if you want) to get rid of mines and collectors people usually leave outside
- after everything is destroyed outside you have 40% or so
-dont rush, use archers in a spot where you can get atleast 5% where no motar or wizards are
-then get another place with another 5%
-dont spread troops too much or else they tend to not finish off the building and you may lose by 1-2% because of that
- if you think you may not get the last few % with the troops you have left after attacking the outside then send queen and king out with the rest of your troops
If you want to get two star then it rage would be required:
-find a good spot as close to the TH as much as possible.
-get a few troops to take out the buildings that are outside that spot, use 1 rage in a spot between the outside wall and inside wall
-send in about 50% of your barbs to take out the wall (can you like 1-2 wb if ya want for outside wall)
- they will smash everything really fast with rage, including the inside wall
-since the TH is usually behind builds after the second wall layer use another rage between the TH and wall
- send in the rest of your barbs to clear the way, and then 50% of your archers to get the TH
- the other 50% should try taking out other buildings to get 2 star
(thats the theory of it, i usually succeed but i usually stop after 50% since i dont like wasting spells if i dont have to use them unless i think the village would be easy to 2star)
-try finding villages with many buildings out side of the village.
Pros:
- fast to make (20 mins for them, 1hour for pekka)
- cheap to make (level 6 barb and archer, 220 total= 49,500 elixir. 1 pekka level 3= 50k)
- you have have more of them compared to everything else (besides gobs and wb)
- can spread them out instead one building at a time
- fast at taking out buildings in a group
- since you are spreading them out will be easier to have them take out certain buildings instead of sending out a pekka where it just goes from there and may skip a building
- can use them to test out spots for bombs or spring
- they arent picky about what they attack
- can send like an archer or barb to take out a build away from the village without using to many troops
So I posted a picture and gives the dps, HP, moving speed, etc of the barb archer combo total.
8 pekkas and 20archers are only 2840dps which is a little more than half a mob would do
11 dragons does about 1980 dps
basically mobs do more dps than the stronger troops as well as they can be sent in waves instead of sending out 8pekkas or 11 drags just to roam by them selves.
cons:
- they need to be sent out in mobs to be efficient then wizards and motars can take them out fast.
- they are squishy
- if not spread right then some buildings may be left without being full destroyed causing the loss by 1-2%
- if a trap is inside then that would be big trouble for the mob
- they arent picky about what they attack (gobs like resource so they attack faster, wb hit walls harder)
- isnt easy to get 3 star with this
For those who don't have either king and queen or rage:
-this setup and way of attacking can still be easily used without rage or king and queen
-you can use lightning spell instead of rage and take out their mortar or wizard which ever seems better to get out of the way
-king and queen are not necessary, they are there just to make sure to clean up like insurance
-this tactic is universal, very easy to 3star in the low 1000, and I'm still able to 2star people in the 2200+ quite easily.
How I raid:
Ok well I pretty much spoke about pros, cons, and the theory of of scoring stars. First I should say that I really love using only barbs and archers because they are cheap and fast to make as well as effective. What I use total is 120Barbs, 100archers, CC (25troops), 2lightning and 2 rage, also K&Q. When I raid I'm very picky because I need to watch out for certain things.
1) I check to see if the motars are placed on the edge where they can cover the outside or not, depending on how their village is made and what they are covering I may or may not attack.
2) I use the time given to count the building because basically 33-34 buildings is 50%, I would personally attack villages with atleast 28 buildings outside.
The following builds would be the best to attack:
-camps:4
-barracks:4
-DE barracks:2
-mines:6
-collectors:6
-DE Drill:2
-huts:3-5
-king and queen podium
-lab, factory, CC
which is basically 32-34
with that done ill go on to how I raid when I do find someone:
-first I would get the king and queen out of the way by using my barbs, lightning the cc troops.
-if there are builds away from the village, I just send 1 barbs which won't get hit. I also test some buildings with archers to see if I could take it out with just 1 troops
-what I use my barbs for are camps, mines, cc, collectors mainly. I leave as best as I can the seeker buildings for the archers.
-if I see storages worth taking outside, I send a rage down, send in my barbs and smash all of the storages and buildings around. I then send in my archers to take out the buildings behind the wall so that I don't was the rage.
(if you see 25 or so buildings outside, make sure to check behind the walls if you see K&Q podiums or huts inside, great for archers to hit)
-usually when a storage is out, I bring in my king and queen for back up mostly because of the time limit.
(Occasionally there are teslas or defenses outside so more for barbs to take down, I feel that my barbs goes to waste because after they take out the buildings around, they head for the wall and just die there so more buildings in the area the better)
if I see a chance to take out the TH then I will go for it, but it depends not he situation, usually rage will help you break through the walls, while barbs take out the surrounding buildings, send in archers to take out the TH.
to use this strategy there may be times when you have to adapt to the situation and know how to attack where and where. And you must be very careful of the time limit, because this tactic isn't about pouring out all your troops.
lastly, villages with areas with a bunch of buildings with walls surrounding them without sectioning them is a good chance to use rage+barbs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(This tactic may not be meant for everyone)
well this is a rough tactic of using them, i may make it easier to understand later.

this base is one of the good bases you would attack with this combo especially when there are many buildings out side and minimal damage is taken. note that i did not even need to penetrate the base.
if there is a certain type of base you guys want me to record using this combo to attack then let me know and ill upload it after the raid.
ill post a raid with this combo attacking bases with higher level walls and hopefully max weapons in the future
